HC Deb 11 March 1889 vol 333 cc1384-5
MR. W. REDMOND (Fermanagh)

I beg to ask the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any news has reached the Government as to a conflict between German and American war ships at Samoa?

THE UNDER SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS (Sir JAMES FERGUSSON,) Manchester, N.E.

Her Majesty's Government have received no such information, and the report in question is entirely discredited.
